EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: 

[1.43] The Great Resignation 

  • A term that has come from WEF

  • Gartner’s Innovation Expert, Aaron McEwen believes there is data that shows it’s going to impact Australia in March 2022. 

What’s behind the Great Resignation? 

  • Companies who have their values aligned with their employees, are growing their employees, and are purpose led – will be fine. 
  • Companies who will be most impacted will be because of a lack of career opportunities, no pay rises, lack of appreciation and recognition 
  • Post pandemic values misalignment – no longer congruent with employee values 
  • Poor company culture 
  • Lack of work/life balance and flexibility  
  • Overseas work

[6.23] The Importance of Gratitude 

  • There’s a lack of appreciation and recognition in many organisations 
  • Many organisations are performance based; focused on bottom line and progress 
  • Some executives feel showing gratitude can be a weakness 
  • Other executives don’t feel they have the time 
  • Expressing gratitude needs to be part of your leadership 

[9.19] The Happiness Project 

  • People who were sent ‘thank you’ letters their happiness went from 2% to 4%

  • For every negative that comes up in a meeting, ask for three positive aspects that has come about from that negative challenge
